RE: My absence in Hive including a fun stroll through philosophical breakdown

in Rant, Complain, Talk3 years ago

I wanted to watch AOT because I thought it would have an interesting scifi story so I waited but yeah I do know that the story would go in a more psychological route.

I would always relate entropy and life till now. I used entropy because I am still hopeful that the disorder, randomness, or uncertainty, it pertains won't result to someone else's suffering.

I am also a pessimist and I was able to use it right now to question the f out of my thesis mates. I hope I can also read these self-help books and moral guides without boring myself and questioning it. The only self help books that I know are the children's books I read in NBS rapidly.

Can you suggest a book I can start with? Thank you!

Hi @emion. Well, if it's any consolation, I personally think there will always be enough room for doubts when it comes to moral guides. We can't expect any of these to be perfect or serve us well 100% of the time since the people who authored these are imperfect fallible beings themselves.

I used to be a huge fan of wishy-washy self-help books until life screwed humanity inside out the past several years especially during the pandemic.

The ones I featured in my posts aren't really of any help, in fact, if anything, they are books that do quite the opposite of giving anyone a sense of hope, so if you do wish to open up the said books, do take it with a grain of salt.

Mark Manson's The Art of Not Giving A Fuck is a good read, and if you want, you can also listen to Alain De Botton's sermons. I learned a lot from the guy.
